This is my opinion maybe your Brain is tired getting the carp kicked out of it because macho man has to shoot the biggest high powered load. Look at it like this if every time you came home your wife hit you in the head with a bat how long before you would duck every time you came home just my 2 cants.Isee older guys moving up to a larger load because there scores are dropping let's face it we get old things chang.

You mean with a release trigger one no longer covers the target?
Why do people shoot release triggers? What issue are they resolving? Why do almost all gun manufacturers sell guns with pull triggers? Why does the military/LE prohibit release triggers?

Didn't we already go through this conversation with some other jackass that finally started touting his miracle sight blinder device?

Yup. Exactly what/who I was thinking.
If I'm not totally focused on what I'm doing when I call for the bird I usually will flinch. Typically happens in 16's. Rarely happens when shooting caps.
Bottom line is shooting 16's is boring and my mind starts thinking of something else. Caps are challenging and much easier to stay focused.

Why do you think I'm starting to flinch when Trap shooting? If you're attempting a Freudian analysis, it would be caused by my mother. If a Jungian analysis is what you're after, it's because my conscious has shut out my unconscious somewhere in the pre-shot routine. According to Victor Frankl, I have lost the will to meaning concerning trapshooting. Lacan would say I do not have the Imaginary, The Symbolic, and the Real in line with my desires. (Guilty as charged; My desires to shoot consistently perfect scores are not currently reflected in reality, which interferes with my symbolic attempt at imaginary perfection.) Arthur Janov would just make me scream right before going to the line, and Gestalt therapy ouwld have me re-examine every little detail of my shooting routine.
Besides if I'm flinching when shooting an 1100 Competition Synthetic, I got problems!

"...because few people like to admit they are either afraid or not in complete control of their minds."
So those of us who flinch have some mental/emotional weakness?
Tell it to this guy
And yes, it sure sounds like Bill, who is declining to reveal himself

Jon has an obvious physical issue he overcomes. Not generic to the conversation. You keep bringing up anecdotal examples. We have gone around and around on this for years. Nothing has changed. People need to take ownership for why they flinch, not a big deal.

Let me start off by saying I`m nobody special and I don`t possess any magical powers . I have never been able to understand why some people start flinching weather they are very experienced shooters of newcomers . I don`t flinch . I have flinched at random times but nothing more than a very occasional thing .If I do it it`s after I have moved my gun while calling for a target . Between field hunting and every form of trapshooting probably a little over 700,000 shells shot . You would think I would be the perfect example of a person needing a release .

This jackass needs to go away as well.
I cannot shoot targets with a pull trigger, because I just can't pull the trigger. I will follow the target to the ground and can't pull the trigger. I make no steps, no eradicate movement with my barrel, and no gimping up at all. I am the first one to admit it is all mental on my part. The release trigger kept me in the game of trapshooting and made me more competitive than ever. In my opinion it improved my shooting , my opinion is what matters to me. A release trigger was cheaper than a mental health specialist and it fixed my problem. I also have never shot the back of the trap house. Yet !!!!
Good for you. You realized your issue and went out an overcame it to enjoy shooting. Plus you are very honest about what your issue was and shared it.

Again lt: once patch realized he had a mental weakness or was brain damaged and took ownership of his disability and went to a release trigger, and since "The cause of a flinch is almost always the result of an interruption of the visual connection between the dominant eye and the target", how is that visual interruption resolved with a release trigger? He magically no longer covered the target? Be specific. What does "The release trigger causes a different sequence in the process of shooting for some" mean and how does that prevent covering the target?
BTW: you resolved your flinch how exactly? We mentally deficient flinchers would very much appreciate a cure.
